Gabriel "Gabe" Ortiz passed peacefully, surrounded by family. He leaves behind an indelible mark on the lives of so many. He was a strong patriarch to the entire Ortiz family. He served our country honorably and worked hard his entire life to provide a wonderful life for this family. He greeted family and friends alike, with a huge smile and open arms.
Gabe's greatest legacy is his love story and life he shared with his beloved, Jutta. Together they danced through life, figuratively and literally, perfectly in sync. They shared a joyful life of travel and adventure and were admired by all that they met along the way.
Gabe will be sorely missed but we find comfort knowing he will be waiting for us all with that beautiful smile.
